The text claims that beer strengthens teeth and bones due to its silicon content.
The claim that beer strengthens teeth and bones due to its silicon content is partially supported by web evidence suggesting that beer, particularly those high in malted barley and hops, contains significant amounts of silicon, which is important for bone health. Several sources indicate that dietary silicon can contribute to bone strength and possibly help prevent osteoporosis. However, the sources do not unanimously claim a direct link to stronger teeth or comprehensive evidence of medical endorsement.

Mostly True
Health
Beer makes teeth and bones stronger because it contains a healthy amount of silicon.
The claim is supported by medium-reliability sources indicating beer as a significant source of dietary silicon, which can help bone health. However, connections to dental health and complete validation of bone strength effects are not robustly made by high-quality, authoritative sources like medical or government bodies.
